eabsinthe.com is the site that works, have not tried the other. Have had the French stuff (pernod not the water) and the czech stuff. the French stuff tastes bad (so the the czech stuff) but I had a couple of shots of Pernod, and it made me a little paranoid, I drank alot more of the czech stuff, and I think I was too drunk, I read that more than 3 shots the alcohol might override any other beneficial effects. As far as the infamous Van Ghoh Absinthe bender, since it is a toxin, perhaps it built up in his system, so the Halucinegen effects were compounded. Just a thought, if anyone figures out how to drink it so it tastes good let us know, I have tired:
Straight, not good
chilled, not good
poured over sugar, not good
poured over sugar and lit on fire, not good
on the rocks, not good
